, with israeli elections coming up in january 22nd, with the head of the palestinian authority going to the u.n. to ask for nonmember states status for the palestinian authority for palestine, i think instead of looking upon all of this in a negative way, we should build on it. >> and then we're looking at pictures that involve egypt's president mohammed morsy. how do you see his role here? earlier in the week it was considered that he played a very strong leadership role here. he used his leverage as well. but then now with the power grab that he is entertaining in egypt days after helping to broker this cease-fire, is his role now being looked at or assessed differently? >> no. i think what we have to look at is president morsy's international role. he played a critical role and he played a positive role as being a very valid person between hamas and the israelis. i mean you had an israeli delegation in cairo working out this deal under egyptian egis. i think morsy played a positive role in helping gain the cease-fire. so that, i think, is one part of morsy. the other part of morsy

it was telling its members all during this year leading up to the election that president obama, if re-elected, would not only take away your gun freedom but all our freedoms, and if that isn't fear-mongering, i don't know what is. >> it's interesting that the gun -- anti-gun lobbying group, the brady campaign, gave the president an f on gun control policy during his first term. how do you explain that, that the president doesn't really seem to be winning from either group on either side? >> no. he has never done anything to advance gun control. as i said, he signed two measures that make it easier to take guns into certain places, and he has never done anything or said anything really to indicate that he has firm plans to impose strict gun controls on the country. i don't believe that he thinks the issue is worth fighting because so many people feel so strongly on the other side. liberals have traditionally, and i think obama has done in his first term given up arguing for strict gun control. i argue that strict gun control alone is not going to solve the undeniable problem with gun violence
